That guy is rad

The last couple I did I used the C3 master. You can get them with either side outlets. Makes brake lines easy. I would never thread the rod, but I like to not die so there is that. But really I would make sure the booster works and doesn't leak, most places wont take it as a core if it is modded. If it has to be threaded have a threaded coupler tigged on.

Does your driveshaft need to be shorter or longer?

Needs to be shorter and better. Went from an 8.2 Buick 10 bolt to a Chevy 12 bolt but also went to 1350 yokes on both ends.

If you didn't move the motor or trans, look for a Chevelle driveshaft. You might be able to find a premade one fairly cheap. Getting them made can be way overpriced.

I had one made for my blazer locally in basically the same co figuration I need and it was about $500. I already have a sonnax 1350 slip yoke so should be cheaper. I need to still setup the rear and with new gears and yoke so just haven’t measured yet.

Almost a year, here.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

why you gotta be like this man

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I put it on dollies and slid it up against the wall while I pull apart a shitty Subaru. I got the front brakes reinstalled. 12” rotors look so tiny in 18” wheels. I also think the rear needs to come up a bit

It's listed in your signature....and...well.... Barrett Jackson this week....after Mecum.... so Many muscle car feels here

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Mines worth like $8. Not much to look at either.

Are you on crack?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Are you on crack?

I meant for others. Rusty old trash.

I'm happy to have found this thread. I love the black. Don't sell the car short. A real GS whether big block or not is not easy or cheap to find anymore. Besides, even rusty ones have more class and style than most cars on the road. I have a nice Buick 350 in my garage that I'd like to modernize one of these days, but it's pretty far down the list. Good luck!

What I take away from the first page is how fucking minty my silverado was

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Fixed the link on the first page as well.

 

[Bub]

I did see that again on your first page. Do you remember the mpgs you got pulling that thing??? I have to imagine it was a pricy haul.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I want to say trailer rental was like $350-400 and got 11-12mpg. 1000 mile trip back. That thing used to get 20mpg highway no problem so the drive out there was fine, plus went out for a wedding so would of made the drive either way.

I would've guessed 9. That was a good truck.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

2wd ftw and drove so much nicer than the 2500hd I replaced it with. That truck was a mistake
